The school year is starting soon and...

I got a job!

God blessed and on Monday, July 14, I got the call. I will be teaching 9th and 10th grade English at Karns High School.

If you ever question how God works, here is proof that He is looking out for us and has a hand in our move to Knoxville. Our townhome, which we leased in June, is located less than 5 minutes from the school. Of all the high schools in Knoxville we could not have leased a home in a better neighborhood any closer to Karns High School! I wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't happened right before my eyes.

I will post pics of my classroom as soon as I get it finished!

I got a job!

Monday, July 14th, while driving to Gatlinburg to visit Biscuit, I got the phone call...God has blessed...I have been hired to teach 9th and 10th grade English at Karns High School.

I will post pics of my classroom as soon as they are available!

Visiting with the family...

Justin, Kristen, Logan, and Riley came for a visit the second weekend in July! We went to dinner at Mimi's, visited the Knoxville Zoo, had ice cream Brusters (yum!), ate at Mexico Lindo's (best homemade tamales), and played in the pool.

Logan and Riley with their belated birthday gifts of matching Viewmaster/Binoculars with tons of animals slides.
Now they are ready for the zoo!
Riley and Poppy Danl

Riley decided to call Poppy Danl "Danl Hall" this trip and as he is famous for his Tommy Bahama print shirts (that he loves) Riley made Danl's day when she commented on his shirt when he came downstairs dressed for the zoo, "Danl Hall, nice shirt."

Logan with the map. Logan has a "thing" for maps and likes to act as the offical tour guide when he visits parks, etc.

Two baby girls...

We had a great visit and can't wait to see them again!
